Like PB without the J

I was driving at lunch today and one of the radio stations played "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" without then playing "With a Little Help From My Friends". What's up with that? They're not remotely my favorite Beatles songs, but c'mon--everyone knows you always play them together. No pleading cultural ignorance here. (Maybe they're trying to save money on royalties to Ringo?) It's like playing "We Will Rock You" without "We Are the Champions" or "Tainted Love" without "Where Did Our Love Go?". Sheesh.
